What have the Middle Ages got to do with us? For Jung, it seems, quite a lot; after all, he tells us: I must catch up with a piece of the Middle Ages - within myself, adding: We have only finished the Middle Ages - of others. In Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival and the Grail as Transformation, Paul Bishop considers the significance for Jung of a masterpiece of medieval German literature, and a major work in the tradition of the legendary Holy Grail. Wolfram's Parzival epic depicts a three-fold quest: for the hero's identity, for vröude (joy), and for the mysterious Grail. In the course of this quest, Parzival himself is transformed from a fool into the lord of the Grail, and the power of the Grail brings about a collective transformation as well.
